The most beautiful film that I have ever seen

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 March 2017

Verified Purchase

The most beautiful film that I have ever seen. Top marks! Wish I could give it thrice as many stars. If you've never seen this movie before, please make sure that you do. It's definitely a 'must see'! It's about friendship, love and compassion. It does have it's sad moments, however, I feel that it ends on a hopeful note. All the laughs in between are worth everything. This stopped being a movie and became a work of art by the end. Loved every moment of it! Delivery was speedy and the DVD is in perfect condition. Thank you!

Great characters and fantastic period atmosphere.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 May 2022

Had been toying with buying this ITV produced Bluray for a number of years, but had read a couple of online reviews to say the image quality was not the best. As no alternatives had appeared on the market in subsequent years I decided to go for it. (Guaranteed that a new rescanned and remastered edition will now appear). But anyway i’m glad i took the chance, i found the picture quality for the most part more than up to standard particularly the scenes from the 20s/30s which make up most of the films running time, only one short street scene looked a bit ropey. The modern day scenes may be colour timed a little coldly but could be an aspect of the original production, rather than a fault of the bluray. Watched this on a projector so image issues are always magnified hence my apprehension of the online reviews, suffice to say recommended, its cheap to buy, a great film, and a nice surprise to see it opening with the Rank Films Gong intro, must have been one of their last film investments.

A must watch for all young women

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 January 2020

Verified Purchase

This is amongst my top ten films of all time possibly top three. The narrative weaves back and forth between modern day when a middle aged Evelyn (Kathy Bates) meets by accident and elderly Lady Ninny (Jessica Tandy) who begins to tell her a story form the past. The film switches back and forth and by listening to the story of the town of whislt stop and the lives of the people Evelyn begins to reevaluate her life.
The script is funny and poignant without being overly sentimental and the acting is fabulous with a predominately female cast and all characters giving good performances.
I have watched it lots of times and shared it with many female friends. A really good movie for women and I think even men would not be bored by it as it’s witty in places.

Heartbreaking, Hilarious Historical Drama

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 September 2013

Verified Purchase

Every time I watch this wonderful film, I see something new.

It begins with Evelyn Couch (Kathy Bates), an unhappy housewife - trampled on by almost everyone she meets - going to visit her husband's aunt in a nursing home. We don't meet the aunt, but the impression given is that to call the aunt "cantankerous" is to put it mildly. And she doesn't like Evelyn. While waiting for her husband, Evelyn meets Ninny Threadgoode (Jessica Tandy), who - over the course of several meetings - tells Evelyn the story of the hamlet of Whistle Stop, now a ghost-town, and the people who lived there.

The main story Ninny shares with Evelyn centres around tomboy Idgie Threadgoode (Mary Stuart Masterson), and Ruth Jamison (Mary Louise Parker), and their relationship and the complications that follow. Meanwhile, learning of Ruth and Idgie encourages the repressed Evelyn to take charge of her own life in ways that vary from the small, to the sublime, to the side-splittingly funny.

The performances are wonderfully strong, bringing each character to three-dimensional life. Jessica Tandy as Ninny is the kind of grandmother-figure we'd all want: spry, with a twinkle in her eye and a story to tell. Kathy Bates as Evelyn begins as a pitiable woman but - after passing through a wild phase, "Towanda!" (it'll make sense once you've seen the film!) - she grows into a more mature, stronger woman. Mary Stuart Masterson portrays Idgie as a free-spirit who grows into responsibility. Mary Louise Parker plays Ruth with quiet strength and dignity. And we can't forget Cicely Tyson's turn as Sipsey, the wry cook at the Whistle Stop Café.

At it's heart, this is a story about life, and about the small triumphs and tragedies that befall us. It's a story of friendship, and love, and family.

That may sound clichéd, but "Fried Green Tomatoes" is not a clichéd film. It's one of those rare films that manages to walk the fine line between drama and comedy, laughter and tears, and makes the audience connect with and feel for the characters without over-egging the pathos-pudding. It's a film that can make you cry watching a scene between Ruth and Idgie, only minutes before Evelyn does something in her bid for emancipation from boredom, and you're laughing again.

This film can be enjoyed by people all ages, whether male or female.

The film's rated PG, and there are dark themes consistent with the period of the 1920s-1930s, the setting of rural Alabama, and (sadly) with life in general, for example spousal abuse, racism, and death.

I'd give it 5-Stars, for a film that draws you into the entirely realistic world it creates, touches all emotions deeply, and refuses to be forgotten.

I cannot recommend it highly enough: it's very close to being the greatest film of all time

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 November 2013

Verified Purchase

I'm a simple person and I like simple things. Fried Green Tomatoes (set in Alabama in the 1920s, 1930s and 1980s) is right up my simple street despite others seeing complications where I seem to see mere simplicity. To my simple mind, the film is just as good as the book (by Fannie Flagg) if not better (though I advise reading the book as well). The plot itself is complicated and one needs to watch the film several times in order to 'get' it. But that's a major advantage for every time one watches the film one sees more and more - the sadness, the joy, the period charm, great characters and great character acting, hilarious moments that morph into marvellously moving scenes as well as surprises upon surprises. I first watched this film several years ago and am regretful that I haven't written a review of it before today. Well, having watched it again today, here's some catching up and I simply want to award it ten stars but Amazon won't let me. Therefore, this ten-star film gets Amazon's simple best - a mere five stars. I cannot recommend it highly enough: it's very close to being the greatest film of all time. Get it now and watch it time after time: you'll be like me and never tire of simple perfection.
